Question

The motors that drive airplane propellers are, in some cases, tuned by using beats. The whirring motor produces a sound wave having the same frequency as the propeller.

A) If one single-bladed propeller is turning at 571 { m rpm} and you hear a 2.60 { m Hz} beat when you run the second propeller, what are the two possible frequencies (in rpm) of the second propeller?

B) Suppose you increase the speed of the second propeller slightly and find that the beat frequency changes to 2.70 { m Hz}. In part (A), which of the two answers was the correct one for the frequency of the second single-bladed propeller ?
